title: [Diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary echinococcosis in young patients].
abstract: Of the 55 young patients with echinococcosis of the lungs and pleura, in half the disease was revealed at prophylactic roentgenofluorography, in 11.5%--at examination for other disease, in 38.1%--when taking medical advice. The retrospective analysis of the roentgenofluorograms performed earlier has shown that in 18.2% of the patients no small, localized in the basal pulmonary segments echinococcal cysts were revealed. The complicated forms were diagnosed in 11%, multipole echinococcosis--in 7.3% of the patients. In complex examination, the correct preoperative diagnosis was established in 91% of the patients. The reaction of latex-agglutination with echinococcal diagnosticum was positive in the titer 1:8 and higher in 57.9% of the cases. All the patients were operated on. The outcomes of surgical treatment are good. The complications which didn't not require reintervention occurred in 9.1% of the patients.
